Editor's Notes
- Lots of people: Market size is significant – even a conservative guess is ….. Not all needs are met: - Companies need help with understanding the business case, migration strategies, POCs, risk management, architectures etc. - Current deployments could be better – best practice alignment, compliance, governance and control are becoming important as deployments become more business critical, gap analyses, alignment with business - Few people have optimise costs, resources, more automation can be done and companies could do with input on the things like operations and systems management in the new world of cloud At F4C, we see one of the more significant opportunities for channel in the optimisation and management space, as well developing specific solutions and workloads to deliver on IaaS, such as LOB apps or your managed service The beast wants to work with you, and it’s important to understand and not underestimate your value in developing a mutually beneficial relationship. This is not a licensing sale, so you have to be on your game, but the opportunity is there are we will help you build value to combine with your existing skills and customer relationship. Yay, right?
- On the subject of optimisation and management, I have to give us a quick thumbs up (just in case no-one else does). Here’s what we discussed as key areas to focus on to access current spend in AWS. Compare this to AWS’ four pillars of cost optimisation. Not bad hey?
- A summary of the AWS partner program
- Whatever you want to do, we’ll help you! Note: you don’t need to certify to participate.
- IN principle no different from cloud products like 365 as an example, just not SKU. You own the billing relationship like you would have done on a software license, and the client sees no change in their engagement with AWS or in access to AWS tools and services. Just note that based and the ways costs are calculated and presented it can get complex and confusing. That’s why we’re enabling you with CH as it massively simplifies billing and understanding on costs.
- Add Slide on high level services CH can enable: Visibility Optimisation Governance Value-add e.g. Migration assessments (emphasise need for this!) Those partners who want to build solutions for customers on AWS or assist current clients with the above, we’ll provide more comprehensive training.
- No product is complete without a dashboard to show you’ve spend your money well! But probably a key dashboard for starting is the health check which shows you where you can gain immediate improvements in cost and resource usage – rightsizing and resource optimisation!
